Efficient CO2 capture, purification and utilisation
Funds around seven projects, each worth EUR 5 to 7 million, to make CO2-based products cheap enough to compete with conventional manufacturing.
Because the proposal must include a business case and exploitation strategy, the normal Part B page limit is extended by 3 pages specifically for this topic. Results only need to be shown working at laboratory pilot scale in at least one case, though proposals are encouraged to also test against real industrial sites through open-loop computations run alongside the plant's actual operation, valida…
The Commission wants research that integrates CO2 capture, purification and conversion more efficiently, cutting the energy cost that currently makes CO2-based products expensive. Converting CO2 into methanol or fuels is explicitly excluded from this topic.
